medicare, he wants $250 million over a quarter of a year. that saves for medicare. and medicaid is more essential now than it's ever been and it's a key part of obama care. i don't know what mr. plouffe was talking about. i think he got the republican talking points mixed up with his. >> that was my first impression when i saw the videotape as well. the question comes up. what are you willing to accept in a deal when it comes to programs like medicare and medicaid? >> look, this december should be about revenues. then we can go on to have discussions about the long-term solvency and where medicare fits in and the changes coming by 2014 as we move ahead with obama care. but revenues have to come first. they should come first because we hold all the ace s. they don't have to worry about their pledge because they are voting to reduce taxes for working americans. they just can't do anything about the millionaires and billionaires and the unearned income, which is going to go back to clinton-era rates. >> i was really surprised that david plouffe would bring up the idea

they don't say changes in social security, medicare, medicaid. is the fact that they don't name these programs shows you that entitlement reform is harder? it's one thing to talk about it but harder when you talk about specifics. >> that's absolutely true. we've seen taxes go up, down and side ways. we've never seen entitlement spending substantially change. that's a harder thing to do. that means that the spring is going to have a tough negotiation. for 20 years the republicans have said no more revenues unless you fix the entitlement programs and the democrats say the opposite. we're out of time. we have to fix the debt problem. >> you're one of the people who says don't touch the entitlement programs. first of all, is the party going to do snit. >> i think more likely than not they won't. let me outline the case here. if we look at the situation, very few retirees are doing very well. the prospect don't look good for those retiring in next 10, 15 years. our retirement system is broken. all you have is social security. you have tens of millions
